Crocus speciosus

The Autumn-flowering Crocus speciosus has reason to be a little blue about the coming onset of winter. All crocus flowers dont like bad or dull weather, and have a tendency to close up tight when the sun doesnt shine in their faces. So Crocus speciosus, compelled by nature to flower in autumn, is unlikely to be feeling jolly much of the time. However, if you plant this stunning bright blue crocus with its yellow cup base, yellow anthers and orange-red stigma, youll have something to smile at every year as it pops its bright head through other foliage in your autumn garden.
